The Martian Manhandler:Mentat: Micheal Steele is so much more awesome now that he's not in charge of anything important.

Absolutely. I respect the hell out of him, even though we disagree on loads of things.

Like most high-level operatives, he's just a mercenary. He was paid to win elections for Republicans, so that's what he did. I don't think he ever gave much thought to platforms beyond what level of support they had among various demographic groups.

Well, Ryan Peterson's been a pretty significant change from Steele in that he seems to have focused the RNC's efforts on finding any remaining legitimate cans of Four Loko.

They'd probably just tie him down and give him a vodak enema. After his slurred, non-sensical, belligerent speech at the convention I doubt that any police department would bother to investigate a clear case of fatal alcohol poisoning considering the victim's public behaviour.
